This mammoth hostel, converted from a 1900 department store, located near Central Station and Railway Square is extremely popular among backpackers and travelers of all ages. Although a little more expensive than the competition, the extra pennies are worth the cleanliness and free activities that the hostel offers. The café downstairs offers the “Meal of the Day” for $6 and the industrial size kitchen is always bustling with aspiring cooks. The City Tours on Mondays and Beach Walks on Wednesdays are a huge hit and the staff offers some colorful commentary along the way. Recommended for first time Sydney visitors!
